From the TREC website:Form Name:One to Four Family Residential Contract (Resale) (Form ID: 20-14)Effective Date:02/12/2018Description:  This is the most frequently used contract form. 

You have to have eyes on your project every day to stay up-to-date and worst case, weekly.

Last Monday they informed me that his parents are staying with them for a "few days" It has been a week and they have failed to offer any end date.

I really like to think about it like online dating.

i am not lawyer no legal advice but if he has overstayed it makes it easier, he is not under lease as if lease end date.

Suggestion: AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE.I never received my order, no eta, and the only response I received was dated 10/21 saying they’d contact the manufacturer for a status.

Just wondering if there are good internet guides out there to help new investors understand steps in renovations and lay out scopes of work and materials needed so we don't miss anything?  

It's worth reaching out to Corporate Housing Groups (most HR Departments at large employers have this division as well as Relocation Companies that you can find via an internet search) to offer your property as a 30-day furnished rental.
